Dear Member,
Last week has been the busiest so far this year in our Visitor Information Centre, with over 14,000
visitors coming through the doors. This is about a 3% increase on the same period last year. We are
also noticing many more international visitors, from Germany in particular, than last year.
Across the city, my impression from talking to businesses is that business is good. Is that reflected in
your business? It would be good to get some more feedback on current business trends: drop me a line
– I am very keen to hear from you! I would also urge you to participate in T-Stats, which is our
barometer of business performance. For information on how to participate you can contact Louisa King
in our team.
Have a good week!
